What Defines Spamming?

So about three weeks ago, I reported this guy on DA for spamming. In under an hour, he posted SEVENTY FOUR JOURNALS begging for RP and they all appeared in DA's search engine under vore. Annoying, right?
DA's answer:
While annoying, this does not constitute spamming under our rules. We are taking no actions. Thanks.
What defines spamming? maybe my definition is wrong? Someone clear me up please.

FA+

But to me Spamming is the repeating of the same thing over and over and over in a single period of time.
This guy was obviously not spamming.
Also it's stupid how ridiculously long it takes DA to answer a report. That spambot report took a month for me to get an answer from and by then it "moved on" to another account to restart the process. Three weeks is also longer than necessary.
Now if he were to post 74 comments on someone else's page begging for the same thing, that WOULD be spamming because its happening on a page that isnt his own. Doing it through journals though means he is only really spamming himself.
This applies even more now that DA has started clumping submissions and journals from the same person together in your watch screen so that you can delete them all at once without them taking up your whole screen.
The only place that it would dominate all over the place would be the search engine (annoying but youd get the same result if he posted 74 pictures of the same theme) and on his journal page itself (which is his own fault if he cant find a previous journal that he suddenly needed info off of).
